steps from huge shape file to topo json:
topojson -q 1e3 --id-property ELECT_DIV national-esri-16122011/COM20111216_ELB_region.shp -o aussieMapTopoFromShp.json
/* -q 1e3 */ //This is the quality/simplification property, the lower the number the lower the quality
/* --id-property ELECT_DIV */ //This copies over the ELECT_DIV property from the shape file to the topoJSON file
//national-esri-16122011/COM20111216_ELB_region.shp //This is the input shape file
